Charming Platinum Seahorse Brooch with Sapphires, Diamonds, Emeralds and Ruby.
Charming seahorse brooch in 18K white gold set with buff topped sapphires, diamonds, buff topped emeralds and a ruby eye. Buff topped stones (sometimes referred to as jelly topped stones) have a faceted pavillion and the top is cabochon cut. This unusual cut provides an luminescence to the sea horse who is brimming with personality.
The 45 natural fine blue sapphires are well matched in their fine blue color. The weight of these sapphires is estimated to be 3.15 cts. The 108 fine white diamonds are brilliant cut and estimated to be very very slightly included (VVS) with a color of F/G (upper range of near colorless). The 6 bright green emeralds are estimated to weigh 0.24 cts. The small red ruby is estimated to weigh 0.08 cts. In total, this well made brooch has over 5 cts. of stones.
This piece is in excellent condition, well made, measures 1.5 inches in length and is marked on the verso 950 for platinum.
Over the decades of our stewardship as a small but exemplary purveyor of the jeweler's art, we have strived to offer a fine and authentic selection, in excellent condition, of collectible jewels from all highly sought time periods at competitive prices and even lower prices, if possible. In the process we have had the extraordinary good fortune of meeting remarkable people - some collectors, others just extremely interesting individuals who have taken the time and effort to examine their lives and select things that tend to make them smile, or admire, or just wonder at the exciting endlessly creative and nuanced panoply of jeweled artifacts.
